Temperature matters when determining pH levels. Whether that level should be measured at a standard room temperature or refrigerated matters even more, at least in Actelion Ltd.’s infringement litigation against Mylan Inc. According to Johnson & Johnson’s Actelion, the pH level in epoprostenol, the key ingredient in its hypertension drug Veletri, should be measured at a refrigerated temperature when it comes to Mylan’s generic formulation.

The convergence of robotics, sensors and AI is reshaping how medical devices interact with patients, clinicians and healthcare systems. Across the field, from oncology to cardiology and women’s health, companies are integrating software, connectivity, data analytics and biological information into their products. And although traditional devices, such as screws for orthopedics or valves for cardiology, remain essential, the shift underway is leading to much more personalized medicine, which is more effective and safer, Eran Lerer, managing partner, at Shoni Health Ventures, told BioWorld.

Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co. Ltd. is paying $60 million up front for an option to secure exclusive rights to Aribio Co. Ltd.’s oral phase III-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapy, AR-1001.

Three decades of trial-and-error, and the resulting safety data, in the oligonucleotide-based therapeutic space have paved way for the present-day innovations and the promise of “programmable,” precision medicine for patients, speakers at Bio Korea 2026 said April 28.

Thanks to a trial design that, according to Evercore ISI analyst Cory Kasimov, “played out exactly as drawn up,” Cytokinetics Inc. hit both of the phase III co-primary endpoints with aficamten in symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).

A new molecule combines the action of two incretins, GLP-1 and GIP, hormones that regulate glucose and appetite, with lanifibranor, a triple agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR α/γ/δ). GLP-1-GIP-Lani enables targeted delivery of the PPAR agonist to cells that express incretin receptors, enhancing weight loss, improving glucose control and reducing inflammation in obese mice. In these models, it surpassed the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and GLP-1-GIP co-agonists such as tirzepatide in reducing body weight, improving glycemic control and enhancing metabolic outcomes during active treatment.
